WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and the Company would like to retain the Executive as its Chief Operating Officer, and the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement embodying the terms of such employment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and promises of the Parties contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Title and Job Duties.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agrees to employ the Executive as its Chief Operating Officer. The executive shall report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
(b) The Executive accepts such employment and agrees, during the term of his employment, to devote his full business and professional time and energy to the Company and agrees faithfully to perform his duties and responsibilities in an efficient, trustworthy, and businesslike manner. The executive also agrees that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall determine from time to time such other duties as may be assigned to him. The Executive agrees to carry out and abide by such directions of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive shall not, without the written approval of the Company, render services of a business or commercial nature on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, or corporation, whether for compensation or otherwise, during his employment hereunder. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to the Executive’s involvement in associations, charities, and service on another entity’s board of directors, provided such involvement does not interfere with the Executive’s responsibilities (and as it pertains to any service on another entity’s board of directors, provided such action is pre-approved by the Company).
2. Salary and Additional Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”), which shall initially be $296,000. The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall review the Executive’s Base Salary no less than annually (at the end of the Company’s compensation year, which shall be its fiscal year) and may increase (but not decrease) such Base Salary during the term of this Agreement.
(b) Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year during the Term, the Executive will be entitled to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”), within ninety (90) days of the completion of such year. The final determination of the amount, if any, of the Annual Bonus will be made by, and at the sole discretion of, the Compensation Committee (or the Board, if such committee has been dissolved), based on goals and objectives previously approved by the Compensation Committee (or the Board, if such committee has been dissolved). The target Annual Bonus is 50% of the Base Salary (pro-rated for partial years), which targeted amount may be increased or decreased by the Compensation Committee (or the Board, if such committee has been dissolved).

(c) Annual Equity Grant. For each fiscal year during the Term, the Executive will be entitled to receive an annual equity grant of $666,000 under the iCoreConnect Inc. 2023 Equity Plan (the “Plan”) (the “Annual Grant”), subject to the availability of shares of common stock under the Stock Plan. The final determination on the amount, if any, of the Annual Grant will be made by, and in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee (or the Board, if such committee has been dissolved), based on goals and objectives approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board (or the Board, if such committee has been dissolved).
3. Expenses. In accordance with Company policy, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable association fees, professional-related expenses (certifications, licenses, and continuing professional education), and business expenses properly and necessarily incurred and paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, upon his presentment of detailed receipts in the form required by the Company’s policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all expenses must be promptly submitted for reimbursement by the Executive. In no event shall any reimbursement be paid by the Company after the end of the year following the year in which the expense is incurred by the Executive.
4. Benefits.
(a) Vacation; Sick Leave. The Executive shall be entitled to 15 days per year of vacation and personal time and to utilize such vacation as the Executive shall determine; provided, however, that the Executive shall evidence reasonable judgment regarding appropriate vacation scheduling. The Executive shall further be entitled to sick days in accordance with the Company's applicable policy.
(b) Auto Allowance. The company will reimburse the Executive $500 per month for business transportation purposes.
(c) Health Insurance and Other Plans. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s medical, dental, and other employee benefit programs, if any, that are provided by the Company for its employees at the Executive’s level in accordance with the provisions of any such plans, as the same may be in effect from time to time. The company currently does not provide a health plan and will reimburse the Executive $750 per month for health purposes.
5. Term. The term of employment under this Agreement (the “Term”) will be three years and shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by the Company or Executive in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
6. Termination.
(a) Termination at the Company’s Election.
(i) For Cause. At the election of the Company, the Executive’s employment may be terminated at any time for Cause (as defined below) upon written notice to the Executive given pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination shall mean that Executive: (A) the failure of Executive to perform any of Executive’s duties or other obligations under this Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, which remains uncured for 15 calendar days after a written demand for performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer believes that Executive has not performed Executive’s duties or other obligations. Executive shall have the right to cure such failure if such failure can be cured within the 15-day cure period, prior to any final termination; (B) Executive’s indictment for, or conviction of, a crime involving moral turpitude whether or not relating to Company; (C) gross negligence or willful misconduct by Executive in the performance of any of his duties or other obligations under this Agreement; (D) the association, directly or indirectly, of Executive for his profit or financial benefit with any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or other entity that competes with Company; (E) the disclosing or using of any material Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) of Company at any time by Executive, except as required in connection with his duties to Company; (F) the breach by Executive of his fiduciary duty or duty of trust to Company, including, but not limited to, the commission by Executive of an act of fraud or embezzlement against Company; (G) chronic absenteeism; (H) violation of the Company's substance abuse policy; (I) misconduct or dishonesty toward or involving Company, which misconduct or dishonesty is injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (J) any other material breach by Executive of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, which other material breach is not cured within ten business days of notice by the Company.
2 |
(ii) Upon Disability. If a Disability (as defined below) of the Executive has occurred, the Company may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate the Executive’s engagement. In such event, the Executive’s engagement shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Executive is entitled to receive long-term disability benefits under Company’s long-term disability plan, or if there is no such plan, the Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to substantially perform his essential duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, for one hundred eighty (180) days out of any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period or one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days; provided however, in the event Company temporarily replaces Executive or transfers Executive’s duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of Executive’s inability to perform such duties due to a mental or physical incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become a Disability, then Executive’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by Company. To the extent the Company does not have a long-term disability plan, any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which the Executive and Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and Company. If Executive and Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) Upon Death or Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time: (A) upon the Executive’s death or (B) with thirty (30) days prior written notice, at any time without cause for any or no reason.
(b) Termination at Executive’s Election; Good Reason Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time and for any reason, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice given pursuant to (“Voluntary Resignation”), provided that upon notice of resignation, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately and pay Executive thirty (30) days’ Base Salary in lieu of notice. Furthermore, the Executive may terminate this Agreement for “Good Reason,” which shall be deemed to exist: (i) if the Board, or the board of directors or managers of any successor entity of the Company, removes the Executive as the Chief Operating Officer of the ultimate parent entity of the Company or successor entity; (ii) if there is a ten percent (10%) or greater reduction of Executive’s Base Salary below the amount specified in Section 2(a), other than a general reduction in Base Salary that affects all similarly situated employees of Company in substantially the same proportions; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement. Good Reason shall not exist hereunder unless the Executive provides 30 days’ notice in writing to the Company of the existence of a condition described above within a period not to exceed ninety (90) days of Executive learning of the facts that give rise to the claim of Executive’s intent to terminate for Good Reason, and with respect to subsection (v) of this section, to the extent such material breach may be cured, the Company does not remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.
3 |
(c) Termination in General. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Company will pay or provide to Executive: (i) any unpaid Base Salary through the date of employment termination, (ii) any unpaid Annual Bonus for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (payable at the time the bonuses are paid to employees generally), (iii) any accrued but unused vacation or paid time off in accordance with the Company’s policy, (iv) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the termination date, to the extent reimbursable in accordance with Section 3, and (v) all other payments or benefits (if any) to which Executive is entitled under the terms of any benefit plan or arrangement.
7. Severance.
(a) A “Covered Period” is defined as the period commencing three (3) months prior to a Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.

| (i) | Tender Offer. A tender offer or exchange offer is made whereby the effect of such off offer is to take over and control the Company, and such offer is consummated for equity securities of the Company representing 51 % or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities. |
|
|
|
| (ii) | Merger or Consolidation. The shareholders of Company approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of Company, or consummation of any such transaction if shareholder approval is not obtained, or required to be obtained, other than any such transaction that would result in at least 75% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction being beneficially owned by holders of outstanding voting securities of Company immediately prior to the transaction, with the voting power of each such continuing holder relative to other such continuing holders not substantially altered in the transaction. |
|
|
|
| (iii) | Sale of Assets.

(i) If the Executive’s employment is terminated outside of a Covered Period, by the Company without Cause (and for other than death or Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six months of Executive’s Base Salary in effect at the time of termination. Such severance payment shall be made in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policy over a six-month period, provided the Executive has executed and delivered to the Company and has not revoked a general release of the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, and such other persons and/or entities as the Company may determine, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(ii) If the Executive's employment is terminated outside of a Covered Period by the Company without Cause (and for other than Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, and if Executive is eligible for and elects to continue to participate in the Company’s medical and dental benefit programs pursuant to COBRA and applicable state continuation laws and regulations, the Company will continue to pay the same portion of Executive's medical and dental insurance premiums under COBRA as during active employment (for Executive and eligible spouse and dependents) until the earlier of: (1) six months from Executive's termination of employment; or (2) the date Executive is eligible for medical and/or dental insurance benefits from another employer.
4 |

(i) If the Executive’s employment is terminated within a Covered Period, by the Company without Cause (and for other than death or Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 12 months of Executive’s Base Salary. Such severance payment shall be made in a single lump sum sixty (60) days following such termination, provided the Executive has executed and delivered to the Company and has not revoked a general release of the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, and such other persons and/or entities as the Company may determine, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(iii) If the Executive's employment is terminated within a Covered Period by the Company without Cause (and for other than Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, and if the Executive is eligible for and elects to continue to participate in the Company’s medical and dental benefit programs pursuant to COBRA and applicable state continuation laws and regulations, the Company will continue to pay the same portion of Executive's medical and dental insurance premiums under COBRA as during active employment (for Executive and eligible spouse and dependents) until the earlier of (1) six months from Executive's termination of employment, or (2) the date Executive is eligible for medical and/or dental insurance benefits from another employer.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and official guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”)) that is/are required to be made to Executive hereunder as a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of such employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid upon expiration of such six (6) month delay period; and (ii) for purposes of any such payment that is subject to Section 409A, if the Executive’s termination of employment triggers the payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” hereunder, then the Executive will not be deemed to have terminated employment until the Executive incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
8. Confidentiality Agreement.
(a) Executive understands that during his employment he will have access to unpublished and otherwise confidential information both of a technical and non-technical nature, relating to the business of the Company and any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates (collectively, “Affiliated Entities”), or clients, including without limitation any of their actual or anticipated business, research or development, any of their technology or the implementation or exploitation thereof, including without limitation information Executive and others have collected, obtained or created, information pertaining to software, patent formulations, vendors, prices, costs, materials, processes, codes, material results, technology, system designs, system specifications, materials of construction, trade secrets and equipment designs, including information disclosed to the Company by others under agreements to hold such information confidential (collectively, the “Confidential Information”).

These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of his employment with respect to Creations and derivatives of such Creations conceived or made during his employment with the Company. Executive understands that the obligation to assign Creations to the Company shall not apply to any Creation which is developed entirely on his own time without using any of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or Confidential Information unless such Creation (a) relates in any way to the business or to the current or anticipated research or development of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities; or (b) results in any way from his work at the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Product and/or Service” means a product or service in existence or under development, that is substantially the same as competes with, is offered as an alternative to, or is intended to displace in the market, any product that is or was under development, advertised, or sold by the Company during the time of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
(d) “Territory” shall mean within any state, country or foreign jurisdiction in which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is then providing services or products or marketing its services or products (or engaged in active discussions to provide such services).

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive each intend that the covenants contained in this Section 9 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every state, territory, or jurisdiction of the United States and any foreign country set forth therein. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings.
10. Representation and Warranty. The Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that he has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement and that he fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.
